The in vitro development of interspecific associations between pulps and enamel organs of embryonic mouse and rabbit tooth germs was studied. Young pulps controlled the 3-dimensional structure of tooth germs. Dental papillae cells and dental epithelial cells, after monolayer culture, did not loose their respective ability to direct the histogenesis of teeth.
